Wolf Conservation in Lisbon

by: ImpacTrip

Add first reviewVerifiedSince 2015

Wolves in Portugal face significant challenges due to habitat destruction and human persecution, with many unable to survive in the wild after becoming dependent on humans. That’s where dedicated conservation centers come in—providing refuge for wolves rescued from zoos, illegal trapping, or other captivity and helping them regain health and happiness in large outdoor enclosures designed to replicate their natural habitat. What to expect: • Hands-On Care: Assist with feeding and ensuring access to clean water. • Monitoring: Observe and monitor behavior to ensure their well-being. • Environmental Efforts: Participate in clearing invasive species, replanting native trees, and maintaining the forest environment. • Facility Maintenance: Help maintain the center’s infrastructure and contribute to fire prevention efforts. • Community Living: Stay in cozy wooden cabins at the center, supported by local staff for an immersive experience! Daily tasks: • Provide food and clean water. • Record wolf behaviors and health indicators. • Remove non-native plants to support habitat restoration. • Assist in maintaining the center’s facilities. • Help keep the surrounding forest healthy and safe.
